New Khyber: my revenge!!!

ariel · 6th May 2006, 09:42 PM

I was just outbid on Omani Kattara by Michael (still seething a little...)
However, here is my revenge: I bought a small Khyber from the same seller Michael bought his new Jambiya. Well, Michael, you missed the real thing!!!
This is a small Khyber with a nice bone handle (just a tad chipped), in a original embossed scabbard, with replaced drag and no throat.
But the blade is beautiful and well preserved wootz!

Very nice and congratulations but I did not miss that piece. I saw it when I found the Kattara but I stick to the Arabian peninsula. Like I said, I'm trying to keep this under control.

Michael, enjoy your kattara. And thanks for the site: even with the exchange rate these people ask for outrageous bundles of money.
Best wishes.
And as to your wife....
I worked hard on mine and she is slowly beginning to see the light.

I may be Battara, but I'm not into kattara (sorry had to say that

).......

Nice wootz on the khyber knife and good to have design on the leather scabbard which contrasts with the bone hilt. Very nice.
